Description

With regards to:

"Note that Creative Commons does [not recommend its licenses be used for software](https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software) or hardware."

It might be more clear without having to click through to say:

"Note that Creative Commons recommends that you do not use its licenses for software"

The OP version can be taken to mean "CC doesnt make any recommendation at all" with regards to using its licenses for software, and the updated version removes that doubt.

Thanks for this great resource!
